In this episode, Sam, an ex-member of the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) and Melissa react to the latest drama from Sister Wives Season 19 Episode 5. Titled "Kid's Side of the Story," this reaction video dives deep into the ongoing tension between Kody Brown, his wives, and their children. Sam and Melissa break down the emotional struggles, family dynamics, and the impact Kody’s decisions have on his relationships with both the wives and the kids. As they share their unique perspectives, Sam draws from his upbringing in a polygamous community, while Melissa adds insights from her mainstream Mormon background. Watch as they offer a fresh take on the unfolding family drama and the complex relationships that are central to Sister Wives. 00:00:00 Cody's Shocking Admission 00:03:29 Cody's Dream of a Big Family 00:07:03 Eating Placenta: A St. George Midwife Trend? 00:10:38 Breastfeeding Practices in FLDS Communities 00:14:12 Family Dynamics and Shared Breastfeeding 00:17:56 The Emotional Impact of Divorce and Spirituality 00:21:29 Cody's Accountability and Abandonment Issues 00:25:15 Janelle and Gabriel's Emotional Conversation 00:28:58 Importance of Genuine Apologies and Accountability 00:32:41 Outro and Upcoming Topics Join our NEW Patreon HERE: https://patreon.com/growingupinpolygamy If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.org At Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."
